Drivers from Burma/Myanmar were the best drivers in the UAE during 2021, with the lowest accident claims rate of 2.5 percent. Using data for the whole of 2021, yallacompare looked at the number of claims registered by each nationality, proportionate to the number of customers, establishing a claims ratio by nationality.

In recognition of the latest report, which usually triggers some lively widespread debate across social media, yallacompare has released a new online driving game giving UAE residents the chance to show off their driving skills on a virtual racetrack and claim the title of ‘The UAE’s Best Virtual Driver.’

Yallaturismo gives UAE residents the chance to win AED5,000 by submitting their details and topping the leaderboard. Players can find the game by visiting https://yallacompare.com/yallaturismo/.

The report from 2020 found that Pakistani drivers were crowned the #1 drivers in the country, with only 2.5 percent having made a claim in the previous 12 months. However, in 2021 Pakistani drivers failed to make the top five with a claims ratio that rose to 9.2 percent.

Another notable change to the rankings is that of Filipino drivers, with just over three percent declaring a claim in 2020, compared to 11 percent declaring a claim in 2021. Syrians and Jordanians have held their position steady with Syrians only rising to 10.6 percent and Jordanians to 10.8 percent in the last 12 months.

The top five nationalities with the least number of claims per insured customer were drivers from Myanmar (2.5 percent), Slovenia (3.5 percent), Dominican Republic (4.4 percent), Trinidad and Tobago (5.3 percent) and Bolivia (5.6 percent).

The five that came out with the highest percentage of claims per insured customer were drivers from the Philippines (11.6 percent), Egypt (11.2 percent), India (11.1 percent), Jordan (10.8 percent) and Syria (10.6 percent).
